• Which were ascribed in favour of Prance to the charge of the 411pitte Ya s poleotie, were extinguished and , annulled.— The. Sovereigns who resumed possession of the States of which the kingdom of Italy had been composed, declared, in a.proclainatirm of April 14, 1821, that notwithstanding this extinction of the , donations, &c., they, however, ad mitted the right of the parties interested to receive the ar rears due before the 30th of May, 1814. Considerable delays were, however, occasioned by the length of time necessary for the persons interested to bring the required proof of their claims, and then for the Commissioners to examine their validity. The greater part of these persons having completed their proofs, and their claims being allowed by the Com missioners, the Sovereigns have resolved that they shall not be obliged to wait till th e rem a ini n g, claims are proved and allowed, but that they shall immediately receive from the respective Governments, all the amount ' due to them. The Commissioners mention the steps to be taken by the claimants to obtAin what is due to them. This no tice is signed by the Commissioners of the Emperor of Austria, the Pope, 'the King of Sardinia, the Duchess of Parma, and the Duke of Modena. FROM THE PAONTIERS OF TJIK ELECTORATE OF HESSE, JULY 26. • M. Streiber, in Eisenach, deputy of the German mer chants ,and manufacturers, has been to Cassel, to dissolve in tlie Electorate the society that has hitherto sub-. sic`ced there.. It seems, therefore, that the idea is wholly given up of inducing the several Gertoan . Governments to adopt measures in common for. the 'promotion of the inter course between their respective dominions, and in favour .of the manufacturing classes, • As in consequence of the new tariff adopted in HeAte Cassel, almost all the produc tions and manufacture's of_the neighbouring countries which are sent to be imported are now subject to exorbitant duties.at the.fronthers, measure's have been adopted in the Grand Duchy of. Saxe Weimar to establish custom-houses on the frontiers towards Hesse Cassel, when equal import duties are to be levied on all goods coming from that country. Public. Journals have mentioned that Mr. Frederick Murhaal, well known by his writings on Political Economy, is gorge to the Baths at Baden, by permission of the Elec tor.. As we hear the permission to leave Cassel is limited to. three months, and we are likewise informed, on good muthority, that an injunction has been laid upon him to re frain from all and every kind of authorship, especially the publication of Rooks, Journal:, and Newspaper:, on pain of forfeiting a' very large security, which he has given. Since the return of his Royal Highness the Elector from Wiesbaden, there is a general report nt. Cassel of an intended enlargement of that city, by the building of new streets. VIENNA, AUG.

General Peer, anxious to ascertain the extent of her forces at Valencia, sum moned the inhabitants to a kind of muster, at which but 800 lien attended; this alarmed him to such a degree, that he again renewed his fullers, protesting that he would not appear after the third gun-shot to be fired on the occasion ; he then succeeded in getting about WO men to make their appearance.

The LORD CHANCELLOR must be greatly annoyed by the flattering compliments paid to him by some of the daily Prints. A paper of yesterday, found occa sion to pay' a high tribute of praise to his .

Our market to-day has presented no improvement, either as to demand or prices, and we think upon the whole, that it is not in so healthy a state as it was the last fortnight. The buyers who flocked in upon us last week haVe not, it appears, made very extensive purchases, and from the general appearance of things to-day, we cannot help feeling afraid that a relapse is at hand ;: and if so, the consequences will be truly dis heartening. Hence, every day confirms our opinion that one great cause of the confined limit to our transactions is really the want of bona fide Capital in those hands who have hitherto been accustomed to invest it in trade. And; much as it is to be regretted, as our manufactUrers have lost the ineins which they. have been years in accumulating, they are now unable to give that credit which the comparative poverty of the buyers seem to require, and which, in ordinary imes, would have been willingly granted. ROCHDALE, AUG. 15. The only factory now unemployed in the township of Rochdale, is an extensive one, which was the property of the late Mr. Itolme, of this . town. After that Gentleman's death, it , became, the subject of a suit in Chancery, andits operations were suspended, by which 305 weavers were thrown out of employment, who, with their families, con sisting of 1,200 persons, became dependent on charity for support. A petition, signed by a number of those per sons; has been forwarded, through the Curate of this pa rish, to the Lord Chancellor, praying hit Lordship to take such steps as will enable 'the parties clairning the factory to set it to *ark; to which his Lordship immediately replied, by Calling for such information as would enable him to ascertain, whether he could meet the wishes of the peti, tioners. I send, you a copy of the letter, which I procured, from one of the. petitioners, who warmly . expressed hil gratitude for the ready and polite attention which their application received from his Lordship :-- " 81R-I should he extremely glad to be of any use to the persons whose petition you have sent me; • buti am wholly un informed, except by this petition, of any will of Holmei of Roch dale, being in the Court of Chancery, and, of course, I cannot know what such a will, would authorise the Court to do in any respect. If the will is the subject of any suit in the Court of Chancery, and the parties could give the name of the cause, or of the suitors and solicitors concerned in it, I might, by inquiry, be able to learn so much of the business, as to know whether the Court can do any thing useful to the petitioners. If I could be supplied with any such information, I would readily•inquire into the matter. As ; to setting the late factory to work by any authority ,that I have, I apprehend it cannot be thought I have any such authority, And for the reason I have mentioned, I cannot know what the litigating parties can or cannot do. • " I am, with the respect which I learn is due to you, " Sir, your obedient Servant, (Signed) " To the Rev; J. Atpinall, Rochdale." The particulars called for by his Lordship' have been for warded, and the . poor weavers 'expect to hear, in a few days, whether it is in his power to relieve them. ' , ELDON. STATE OF THE CITY. OF DUBLIN. Upon this subject and its causes we offered what ap peared to us to be just and sound ob.servations.—Some of our.Cotemporaries accused us of hard-heartedness, want of feeling, and sundry other vices, which accusations were, heaven knows, unfounded. We boldly stated that the distress, which we admitted to exist to a deplorable ex tent, was not in reality felt by those who formed theatrical processions through the streets, issued inflammatory hand bills, and committed disgraceful riots—in fact not by the operative mechanics, who arc the sworn and devoted sup porters of a system of illegal and ruinous combination; and in 'proof of the view taken by us, we would refer to the Charge delivered 'by Lord Norbury (than whom a more acu te observer of huMan natu r e d oes no t ex i s t) to the Commission Grand Jury on Saturday last.—Evening Mail.

The utmost his Lordship would do, was, to give the plaintiffs leave to give notice immediately to the defendants, that he would hear the appli cation on Thursday next, that they might tuwe the opportunity of being heard in opposition. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.—(Tnts DAT). E a mnazzursturT.---A genteel looking young , man, named Bartley, was brought befor e th e Si tt i ng Magistrate (AN SLZT), charged with embezzling toy() sums of 2/. J7s. 611. and V. ss. 6d., the property of his employers. The prisoner•had been employed its a collecting clerk to the prosecutors, and in that capacity had received several sums on their account. They had no cause to suspect his dishonesty, till the day on which he misappropriated the above sums ; and it was remarkable that on that occasion, be had handed over a few sums which be had received from hie tauten' employers. The prisoner (in a faultering voice) denied the charge of em bezzlement, saying that he had paid over the money to a brother in-law, who was also in the prosecutors' emplpyment. The Alderman handed him over for trial at the Sessions. A tall coarse-looking personage, calleciiones, Was charged With having introduced several pints of gin, and other cordials, into White-cross-street prison. The worthy spirited pkilanthropist had filled three bladders with Hedge's genuine extract ; one of which he had stuffed into his hat, and the other two he had concealed in the dark profound Of two very deep and dangerous pockets. Thus equipped, he march ed to the portal of the gaol, and assuming the most indifferent aspect, and whistling up his courage, he craved admittance. The turn-key appeared to eye him with great keenness; and was about , to let fly a sharp volley of qUestions, when le ! the bladder• in his hat burst, and down came its precious contents in gentle rills, over his cheeks. This was proof demon strative; a search commenced; and the two other bladders were instantly brought out of darkness. • Alderman• AusLxv—Well, sir, what have you to say to this charge? Prisoner—Oh ! your worship, you must be lenient on me; I hereon aged, infirm mother to support, and am in wretched cir cumstances. I tried this bit of thing in order to earn a few shil lings, to keep my mother and myself from starving. The worthy Alderman said that the legislature had imposed a heavy penalty on those who introduced spirituous liquors into any of his Majesty's gaols, for the purpose of preserving the morals of the prisoners; and he therefore felt it his duty to convict him in the lowest penalty of 101. ; and in default of payment he must be locked up for fourteen days. BOW-STREET---(Tms DAT.) Mary Bryan, a lively little gypsey-looking woman, was charged with applying a " pretty considerable" slap to the forehead of a Mrs. Stewart, who appeared to be a gin-drinking, gossip-loving sort of Matron, Whose garrulity was only to be calculated by the quantity of refreshment she had taken. Each party brought a female witness, and • the confusion of tongues must have been elucidation compared with the clainenr produced by their respective clappers. Mrs. Stewart vociferated that Mrs. Bryan had beaten all the sense out of her head, and Mrs. Bryan, in reply, screamingly accused Mrs. Stewart of having tarp niched her fair fame, and " called her from- a pig to a dog," (feminine). Mr. MiNautaa., after listening with considerable patience, till silence could be procured,•.ascertaineel that both parties were in fault, and ordered the warrant to be suspended. • MARYLEBONE.—(Tau. Mary Ann Marsh, a nioatArretehed looking being, with an infant iu her arms, was charged with being drunk on-the step of door, with her infant at her breast, at a quarter-before eleven last night. Collins, the watchman, said she was so drunk that' she could not fund, and it was a miracle the infant was not killed. The prisoner in answer to these inquiries of the Magistrate, stated that her husband had died and left her with the child.' She bad noisome, and had been very After a suitable admonition she was discharged. Thomas Webb was charged by a watchman with being drunk, and ringing the bells of the houses in Devonshire-street. He described himself a clerk out of employment, end was hued 51. for being drunk..- MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—(Tuts DAY.) A most extraordinary deformed creature, about three feet high, /with a bead nearly as long as hi; body, and a nose nearly as long as his head, applied for a warrant against his Ipdlord. He was well known to the officers as a very industrious man, in writing petition., fencing stolen goods, and harbouring :thieves. In fact, he had arrived to the enviable distinction of being.considered their King, and by that title was generally known to the officers. Ile now wished to obtain a warrant, but without the usual and neces sary ceremony of paying for it. Mr. Roe could not consent to his having a warrant gratis, unless it was an aggravated assault, and his Meljesly left the office greatly chagrined at the disloyalty with which he had been treated. A Mr. and Mrs. Rtitorn, were charged by Mr. Cook, a poul terer, with creating a riot round his house ; Mr. Edson/ was also charged with striking a watchman. It appeared bythe,avidence, that the prisoners went into the Complainant's shop' to purchase some poultry, hut. without the usual precaution of taking money with them. A row consequently took place, and the prisoners instead tifleming 4, snug supper at home, were themselves taken to the wiWhouse. Mrs. Edsom said, that Mrs. Cook had favoured her with seve ral unfavourable epithets, and that she was first insulted. Mr. Cook said that he interfered with the svatchtnin solely be cause he was treating Mrs. E. in a most brutal manner, and he certainly tried to protect her. Mr. Ros ordered Mrs, Edamo to find hail, and finfd Alr. E. ss. for assaulting the watchman. - QUEEN-SQUARE...4IIm DA T. ) Stiorturrtno.— 'William Barton, a genteely dressed young man, was brought before the sitting Magistrate, W. A. A. Want, Esq., on a charge of felony. It appeared from the evidence, that the prosecutor, Mr. Bear, wits a linen-draper residing on Pindico-terrace. The prisoner came into his shop under pretence of purchasing Jenne trifling article, and after asking the prices of several lets of calicos and *balloons, he left without buying any, observing that the prim) was. too high. The prisoner, however , coutrivod, .before he retired, to secrete a quantity of printed cotton from off the taunter, ,end placed it in his basket. The shoproan i i niun di ate l y alines .the prisoner was gone, missed the property, - *nd brought him .beck. On searching the basket, the stolen goods were discovered con, cealed therein. A constable being sent for ha was taken 'into custody. He declined saying any thing, and was fully committed to Newgate, the parties being also bound over to prosecute.

LANCASTER, TUESDAY, Aua. 15, It is really wonderful to witness the vast change here. Several of the nobility, gentry, and others, took their de partures the moment they heard of the issue, of which I informed you yesterday, viz. that 'E. G. Wakefield had been admitted to bail. Many a young , lady who had pic ttited to herself the gratification of seeing this "beautiful maid.',' not at the " foot," but at the top of the "hill," has been sorely disappointed. They say it is a complete hoax, and that henceforth the men may run away with them for 'what they care, since the old-fashioned law of Philip and Mary has given such a latitude to the "gay de ceivers! Wm. Wakefield was seen early this morning, walking arm in arm with his solicitor, when it ,was said that a motion would be made to put off his trial but, from the strong, observations made by Mr. Jiistice Park yesterday, it was much doubt ed whether it would be granted or not.. At the sitting of the court, his Lordship took the cases of the rioters, and it was then understood that he would not hear any motion until the rising of the coitrt. • Counsel' . were then seen to move quickly on the other side. The trial of the rioters ' was not over until near seven! o'clock. Great expecta tion was then excited that the motion would come on, but Mr. Justice Park adjourned the Court until nine o'clock to-morrow. It is thought that if the motion be not granted, the trial will come on to-morrow (Wednes day.) The motion will be made on affidavit, the tinor of which will be .to enlarge the time to surrender on his recognivntees until the next Assixet, in discharge of his bail. Sir John Copley waits the issue of this motion before he proceeds to. Scotland. It is •just said that the motion will in part be founded on the absence of a very material witness in France. The unfortunate man (Shorrock) for rape, was visited yesterday by his son, who walked all the way from Black hum, with clogs of an extraordinary weight upon his legs, to see his unhappy father. The interview in the Castle yard was very affecting; the ►vretched man received a rag ged suit of clothes from his son, in order to prevent the hangman, he said, from having the old ones be wore on the day. The best causes have died away at Nisi Prins. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD RACES.....WZDT4ViDA ATM. 16. The Gold Cup, in specie, 19 subscribers of 10 toys. each. Four . _ miles.
